The committee on apples on professional list, in submitting their report, would say, that in making their awards on best ten, adapted to the northwest, they were governed by the following rules: Hardiness, productiveness, quality, and varieties for season, adopting the following list as a basis to work to: Red Astrachan, Duchess of Oldenburg, Haas, Utters, Plumb's Cider, Fameuse, Tolman Sweet, Walbridge, Golden Russet, and Willow Twig. On best five, adapted, upon the same rules; Red Astrachan. Duchess of Oldenburg, Fameuse, Tolman Sweet, and Golden Russet. On the best five winter, it was found exceedingly difficult to determine the awards, as there were four or five different collections worthy of much merit. The exhibitors found it very difficult to arrange their fruit for proper display, for lack of room; the exhibits being so much greater than was anticipated.

DESCRIPTION. The original tree stands in the village of Pewaukee; it is over thirty years old and is very thrifty. It is a seedling of the Duchess, fertilized by the Belmont. Every other year it bears very heavy crops and a light one the alternate seasons; is a fair grower, with rather close, pyramidal top; shoots, light brown; leaves, grayish green. Fruit, medium to large; nearly round like an orange; calyx and basin very shallow, regular, nearly without rib or wrinkle; skin, yellow, covered partially with vermillion and carmine stripes, very smooth and of a fine color; dots, small and few; flesh, white, juicy, subacid, quite mild; good for dessert and cooking; keeps well into mid-winter; stem, long; fruit hangs well on the tree; seeds, rather large, dark brown; core, medium.
